This looks like slop from a slop factory. "SEO", "Agent-readiness". That's precisely what a good website doesn't do (to paraphrase the homepage).

Oh yes, it's produced by a Wordpress "SEO" expert and private investor using Claude LLM. What a surprise. A man who built a fortune destroying the internet we loved with advertisement slop now working on destroying whatever's left with LLM slop.

From the about page (https://specification.website/about/):

> Not a framework. Not a guide. A spec — what is required, what is recommended, and what to avoid.

It's hard to tell how much of the site is LLM slop, but some of the copy sure is.

The em dashes and word patterns ("it's not X, it's Y") and duplicate contents pretty much prove that this is AI to me.

Flagging "stable URLs" as "agent readiness" indicates to me that whoever wrote this cares more about AI than people. This domain is going on my blacklist, I can already see how this will make looking up any information about web development worse.

The full spec in single page is like a poster boy for the current AI slop webdev.

It triggers slop flags for me too.

1 - The little color tags : required, optional, recommended.

2 - The insane amount of content no one is ever going to read

3 - the weak premise for an idea carried out to excruciating detail
